In the top 16 knockout round, he scored twice to help France eliminate Spain. In the quarter-finals, it was his goal that helped France defeat Brazil.

The two sides entered a penalty shootout. In the end, Italy defeated the French team with a penalty kick 5:3. Zidane completed his last World Cup performance in such an imperfect way, but he was worthy of being a master. name!

Although Brazil stopped in the top 8, Kaka successfully won the World Cup Golden Boot Award with 6 goals. This was also regarded by many as the top scorer in the World Cup in the past. The curse reappears.

In the selection of the best rookie, Ronaldinho, who was very popular, was not elected in the end. Germany's Podolski won this award, although in everyone's eyes, his performance was not as good as the Portuguese star. But FIFA finally chose him, which directly led to Portugal coach Luiz Felipe Scolari launching a war of words for his disciple.

Two days after the World Cup ended, on July 12, the Red Rebels began training.

All players participating in the World Cup will receive an additional two weeks of vacation based on the time of their last World Cup match. Among them, players such as De Rossi, Ribery, and Evra who reached the final will be able to wait until July 25. , went directly to China to join the Red Rebels.

As the Premier League begins its overseas promotion this season, the Premier League Asian Cup and North American Challenge Cup are known as top priorities, especially in Asia. As the most popular team in this region, the Red Rebels are scheduled In Asia, the other three teams that formed the Premier League Asian Cup with the Red Rebels are Liverpool, Chelsea and Droyden.

Different from previous Premier League pre-season games in Asia, these four teams will be divided into two zones, respectively in Japan and Hong Kong, following last season's ***J League champion Urawa Ruby Club and Hong Kong United. A triangular round robin will be formed, and then the first place in the two districts will compete in the finals, and the second place will compete for third and fourth place.

The principle of proximity,

In order to facilitate this Asian Cup, the Red Rebels specially arranged the pre-season training venue in China and stayed at the Shenzhen Jianlibao Sanshui Training Base in Sanshui, Guangdong. The Red Rebels will train and prepare here, and then Go to ***, first play a warm-up match, then participate in the Premier League Asian Cup match, and finally return to Manchester.

But this time, Xiao Yu did not appear in the Red Rebel team heading to China. He immediately returned to the United States as soon as the World Cup ended. In addition to handling some company affairs, he also worked on the upcoming "One Goal to Fame 2".

This football sequel movie can be said to be a highly anticipated blockbuster this summer. Especially after last year's "One Goal to Fame" became a hit, all the fans are looking forward to this movie. I hope it can Reproduce last year's football craze.

Amid the heat wave of the World Cup, "One Goal to Fame 2" was released on July 14. The publisher hopes to take advantage of the heat wave of the World Cup and once again set off the "One Goal to Fame" craze around the world.

This movie mainly tells the story of Santiago competing in the European arena for the Red Rebels. The plot continues the previous film. After the Red Rebels won the championship, Santiago also became famous in one fell swoop, but he had to face the challenges of becoming famous. The troubles caused by him, the attention his opponents attach to him, injuries, state fluctuations, and a series of other problems that professional players must face.

It can be said that this movie still retains the plot characteristics of the previous movie, which is to pay attention to details, but the pace is very fast. The whole movie is constantly laying out and foreshadowing, focusing on two games, one against AC Milan’s knockout round and the Champions League final against Real Madrid.

The game is naturally interspersed with a lot of Santiago's emotional journey, as well as his encounter with his mother, etc. These all bring more connotations to this football movie and enrich the fans. The desire to watch, coupled with the well-designed script, made the movie explode at the end. Santiago helped the Red Rebels reverse Real Madrid and win the Champions League.

On the surface, the plot seems very simple, but with the sensational and inspirational elements of Hollywood's main theme, coupled with the appearance of real people from luxurious lineups such as AC Milan and Real Madrid, this movie can be regarded as a well-made football blockbuster. .

However, on Rotten Tomatoes and IMDB, there are still many fans who expressed disappointment with this movie. They think that this sequel movie cannot surpass the previous one. It is simply a popcorn blockbuster made to make money and cannot compare at all. [Become famous with one goal].

In this regard, Xiao Yu also felt helpless. The first part was already a limit, and it was impossible for the second part to surpass it. What he most wanted to see was that the box office could continue to maintain the level of the first part.

In fact, the first weekend of "One Shot 2" almost surprised ***, with the box office reaching 61.86 million US dollars in the three days of the weekend, almost defeating "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" which has been in theaters for two weeks. "The Movie" is another money-making masterpiece this summer after "Bayonet". The box office of "One Shot 2" in the same period was only 62.36 million US dollars.

In the second week, the box office of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" once again reached 35.04 million U.S. dollars, ranking first in the North American box office rankings for three consecutive weeks, while "One Shot 2" once again ranked second with a slight disadvantage, only earning 3,398 Ten thousand US dollars, but this was enough for "One Shot 2" to successfully push the box office to 150 million US dollars.

But in the third week, the long-awaited "One Goal 2" managed to control the decline and successfully reached the top with $26.3 million, while the originally highly anticipated "Miami Vice" only received $26.3 million. With 25.19 million U.S. dollars, "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", which was released for four weeks, finally fell from the top spot, earning only 20.49 million U.S. dollars.

At this time, it is no longer a problem for "One Shot 2" to reach the North American box office of 200 million US dollars. The only suspense is whether it will be sooner or later. Both DreamWorks and Disney expressed that they are satisfied with the box office of this movie.

It should be said that "One Shot to Fame" and "Bayonet", these three movies made by Xiao Yu all have one typical thing in common, that is, their lives are very long, coupled with the film company's promotional strategy , making these movies always good at the box office, which also makes everyone full of expectations for the new film "The First Commandment" directed by Eva Snow, which will be released on August 4.

This movie is a supernatural film starring Brad Pitt and Ben Affleck. Pitt plays the role of Ekin Cheng in the original movie, while Ben Affleck plays the role of Shawn Yue. ”, but unlike the original movie, this movie has more delicacy and tenderness unique to female directors.

Not only that, Eva Snow also added more action scenes into the movie, such as the original scene of the movie, the race between Shawn Yue and the police, until he caught up with the bus and shot the woman. Driven by Xiao Yu's script and directed by Eva Snow, the entire chase process became very tense and exciting, and full of suspense, inducing movie fans to want to continue watching.

As they watched, they realized from the arrogant Pete at first that there are no ghosts in this world, but then they used various facts to prove that there should be ghosts in this world, especially for those who have come into contact with ghosts. The setting of being possessed is even more terrifying.

At the end of the film, no one could get an accurate answer as to whether Ben Affleck was possessed by a ghost. It should be said that this is an open ending. Everyone has different opinions, but without exception, many Movie fans are full of praise for this movie, thinking that this movie contains more connotations that reflect social issues.

Especially for the scene at the end of the movie where Peter sits on the stern of a lonely boat, lights a cigarette, and waits for his most beloved woman to come and meet him, the deep sadness that cannot be eliminated is even more intense. It made many movie fans cry, and everyone was amazed by Pitt's performance in the movie.

In addition, the scene where Pitt and his wife danced under Ben Affleck's gun was extremely weird, and at the same time it felt very novel and exciting. This made the whole movie not only a qualified thriller action shootout movie , it also has a bit more resonance that penetrates people's hearts, leaving countless people with endless aftertaste.

The Rotten Tomatoes website rated "The First Commandment" very highly, with a freshness rating of 100%, and IMDB gave it a high score of 9.1. This made "The First Commandment" earn a lot of money as soon as it was released. Well, many professionals are amazed by the report card given by Eva Snow's director, but they find it difficult to climb the box office of this movie. It is quite rare to exceed 100 million.

According to what they said, today's movie fans don't like to watch movies that require thinking. They prefer to watch direct and exciting excitement. So for "The First Commandment", they feel that this movie should go straight to Oscars, not box office.

As if to cope with the predictions of film critics, despite the gathering of big names, "The First Commandment" only grossed 47 million at the box office within three days of its premiere. This should be said to be the lowest among all the movies Eva Snow has participated in, and also the lowest for Xiao Yu. It had the lowest opening box office among the films he participated in.

Precisely because the premiere results were not very satisfactory, everyone's expectations for this movie have dropped a lot. Eva Snow was a little disappointed with this. She desperately wanted to make an "excellent" work. But now it seems that his attempt was not successful.

Of course, if she had not set higher demands on herself, she would have been considered very successful if a movie with a total investment of less than 40 million could achieve such a box office. Xiao Yu even comforted her and asked her to work hard to make "Detective Detective" 】.

But in the second week, "The First Commandment" still firmly occupied the top spot. Under the impact of the disaster film "World Trade Center", "The First Commandment" still achieved a high box office of 35 million US dollars, beating "World Trade Center" 19.01 million US dollars, and [Dancing Life] 21.06 million US dollars, and successfully broke the 100 million yuan mark, approaching US$150 million.

In the third week, "The First Commandment" once again achieved an astonishing box office with a total of 28 million US dollars, ranking first for three consecutive weeks. This made everyone surprised by the vitality of this movie, especially this movie. The praise from the reviews attracted many movie fans to the cinema.

This immediately made "The First Commandment" pick up at the box office. According to feedback from 3,803 theaters in the fourth week, many of the movie "fans" who watched "The First Commandment" were harassed by friends, and some They were all watched for the second or even third time, which allowed the box office of "The First Commandment" to stabilize at US$25.06 million in its fourth week of release, successfully breaking the 200 million mark.

But what surprised everyone even more was that in the fifth week, "The First Commandment" still firmly topped the weekend box office list, achieving a high box office of US$19.32 million.

In the sixth week, the three-day weekend box office reached US$14.97 million, ranking first for six consecutive weeks!

In the seventh week, the weekend box office was US$12.81 million, lagging behind Dwayne Johnson's "The Game", which grossed US$15 million in three days over the weekend, surpassing "The First Commandment" to reach the top spot. However, at this time, The box office of "The First Commandment" has quietly reached the 300 million mark.

Afterwards, "The First Commandment" faced the impact of new films such as "Fearless" and "Jungle Strike Back", but still steadily obtained good box office, making the box office of "The First Commandment" finally exceed 300 million.

In the entire 2006 North American box office rankings, "Bayonet" was far ahead at the top of the list, "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" ranked second with 423 million US dollars, "The First Commandment" reached 313 million US dollars, *** ranked third, and " "One Shot 2" ranked fourth with 258 million, followed by "Cars", "X-Men" and "The Da Vinci Code".

For a time, the scripts written by Xiao Yu aroused great repercussions in the United States. Looking at the scripts planned and personally produced by him, each one has a box office of more than 250 million, which also made Xiao Yu immediately crowned. He has won the title of "Mr. 250 Million", and I hope that the invitations for him to write scripts will come in like snowflakes.

But Xiao Yu himself didn't know anything about what might happen in the future. After attending the premiere of "The First Commandment", he immediately rushed back to Manchester to deal with a difficult matter.
